Pyeongchang is synonymous with winter sports, home to arguably the best skiing and snow-boarding in Korea. Chosen as the host of the 2018 Winter Olympics, the area has been transformed from a domestic ski destination into a winter thrill retreat of international renown. It is also an alluring destination year-round, with stunning trekking routes available through Odaesan National Park, as well as golf courses, hot spring resorts, and temple stay programmes.
